Thanksgiving

Another great Thanksgiving.
Good food and a great family.
We always have fun.

Beaver Dam State Park, IL

We just returned from a mini-gathering of A-Frames. This was a "hey I'm going camping if you want to join" trip. We had 7 Aliners show up. It was a little cool and windy at times but it was a good time. 
Nice campground and a good time.

Thirty degrees this morning. A little cool riding the bike to the restroom at 7:11 AM

(actually it was 6:11 AM due to the time change)

McCullough Pie Contest

Family in Texas did a pie contest so Carol & I decided it would be a good idea too. An excuse to get together and eat. We even purchased an official Pie Contest in a Box.

We had a good time and ate a lot!

The official Judges:

The judges had to taste each pie and rate them.

Plus we also had a Peoples choice winner. The winner from the judges and the peoples choice was the same. A Strawberry Rhubarb pie by Amy McGuire.  Second place went to Peggy & Rob and third place went to Carol.

The winners:

Some pies were a little odd, is that bacon on top?

We even had Pie music, all songs about pies. 
I think everyone was a winner because we all got to eat and have a good time.

Hocking Hills KOA, near Logan, Ohio

Arrived here Tuesday. The Aliner Owners Club, Central Great Lakes Region, has a rally that starts Thursday. Very nice campground in the hills. Nice scenery and a lot of space between campers. Unusual for a KOA.

I believe there were 40 A-frames in attendance. The weather was great. Cool mornings and nice days.

John Pfeil had a couple Tech sessions that were well received.

Carol found a new favorite activity. Mining for gems. Of course everywhere we go she is always picking up rocks. 

We went to a cave called Old Mans Cave. Carol said I was an old man and I needed to stand by the sign.  Nice little walk through this open cave.

We ate good too. Thursday night was hot dogs, beans and chili. Friday night was the pot luck with Ham. Saturday night KOA had ice cream sundaes. Sunday morning donuts and rolls I think. I didn't make it for Sunday breakfast, Carol made me biscuits and gravy, eggs and sausage. 

Of course John had a couple of his famous fires.

This was another successful rally. We had a great time and look forward to the next one.
